I picked up yet another FC the other week. Its a '90 GXL. Damn nice shape. has ~150k on the body, but has 0 rust, recent paint job, and a few mods. There's 6k on the engine, which was built and streetported by Judge ITO, new rotor housings, RB header, pre-silencer. I put the Greddy SP cat-back on, as well as some comp engine and tranny mounts. Just got a new set of Pirelli winter tires on it today, and cleaned it up and decided to take a few pics. This will be my daily driver, only future mods planned are a LSD rear end and a S-AFC. Also have a set of S5 Turbo2 wheels that will be used for summer tires. Just thought Id share

 

clean

 

Looks nice, mind me asking how much you payed for it?

 

I paid $3,800. It may seem a bit high, but for how clean it is, plus the rebuild/streetport, I think it was worth it. Runs very nice, and everything works, even normal FC gremlins such as the clock and wipers.

 

Think maybe i can see some more pics of the black interior, im doing mine in black and i want to see how yours looks, lots of pics please

 

Awsome Lenny! To think you were going to go with a FD just months ago...now you've got another FC. Very clean.

 

looks good very clean to kind of looks like my 91 n/a without the sunroof and rims

 

Thanks Tony.. I realized where my true loyalty really was

 

nice clean looking n/a...............you gonna turbo it?

 

Is that Daves old car? If it is, i've seen it in person and its very clean.

 

nice and clean, except for those annoying automatic sliding seatbelts. Does the car look that orange in person?

 

correct me if im wrong but i thoguht all GXL models already have an LSD ?

 

beautiful!
i myself just bought a red s5 too!
too bad mine is an automatic.
and it doesnt run... flooded or something...
and blown coolant seal too i think...

hey, could you send me a some what close picture of your console with the manual shifter?
ia m wondering if the plate is the same..
btw ediddy, i like your avatar

 

Very nice. You're lucky to have such a well built motor in there.

 

I thought so too.

 

Only S4 GXLs got LSD. The only S5 N/A to get a LSD was the GTUs.

Yes it is..

 

Good looking and clean :Bigthumb:

 

Thats a must keep for ever.
enjoy your new car.

 

Awesome daily driver...very clean, in and out!

 

Not bad I must say it's quite a clean S5. I just got myself a 89' GTU blk/blk and must say I am happy with it too. Good luck with it hope it treats you well.

Not bad esp considering who did the rebuild

 

Yea, Im very happy with the car. By no means did I buy this car to be fast, but it does suprise me. Both my G/F and her brother have slightly modded TSI AWD Talons, and I actually pulled on the one by 1/2 a car-lenth from 40-~100 the other night. Shocked the hell out of me

As for the color, it only looks orange in certain lighting conditions.

 

Beautiful! It's nice to see that some people really do take care and preserve these cars. 3800.00 seems like a fair price...here in Florida I've been looking on and off for almost a year and can't find anything for less than 5000. I gave up and bought a fixer-upper 88 RX7 vert being as we have A 89 RX7 vert already. I can only hope after we combine the two ours will look as pretty. GL

 

Time to run me then.
